People are now jumping on the train for which BTB has long been a regular commuter: that the Cowboys, contrary to popular mythology, boast a stable front office. Which begs the question: how might we rank all four NFC East front offices in terms of stability?
In Sunday's morning news post, the inimitable O.C.C. chose as his headliner an article by long-time Cowboys curmudgeon Jean-Jacques Taylor. For years now, Taylor has been riding the Cowboys' front office for its ineptitude; his favorite rhetorical maneuver has been to share one of the Cowboys' public statements and then to eviscerate it with a single word: "poppycock." He's also a big fan of "rooty-poot" as an assessment of one or another of the Cowboys' strategies.
Of late, however, JJT has changed his tune. In mid-January, after making Jerry Jones his whipping boy for the better part of a decade, he offered that the Cowboys' owner had "changed his ways" and become "the type of executive needed for a team's sustained success." Earlier this month, Taylor penned a post proposing that Stephen Jones had "taken charge" of the Cowboys, and the team was now operating according to his more prudent philosophy. Then, on Friday, ESPNDallas published a piece in which JJT told readers that:
These Cowboys move deliberately in free agency, eschewing the big-ticket, gaudy purchases for sensible selections from the discount bin. This is the Cowboys' new reality, and it's taking time for some of y'all to accept it, but it's the proper approach for a team trying to build a sustained winner.
